Operator Technician (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 7, 2018
Decent job if you don't question anything and like monotony and don't have a strong work ethic. Things are better if you're related to someone. Also, the union is more of a do nothing fraternity unless you're related to someone or are on one of their committees, I think
Horrible place to work. It may work for others but not me
Assembly lineman (Former Employee) – Dearborn, MI – December 7, 2018
I felt like a slave. I don’t work for money I work to keep myself active. Everyone is a number at Ford. One slip up and your out. After you’ve put blood, sweat, and tears into someone else business, for them to not consider you at all.
Positive and developing company
Product Development Engineer (Former Employee) – Dearborn, MI – December 6, 2018
Nice public company with ethical owner
Ford donate a lot to charitable institution
Changing from conventional rigid company to more flexible company
Flexible work schedule with no fixed time to start to work for a day.
Management is the same as other company, you should be lucky and work hard to be promoted, but management is making efforts to listen to people, even though all of the management is not the same.
The most enjoyable part is they give you $100 gift when you are recognized.

I'm glad they offered buyouts, I don't know how I would have survived much longer.
Area manager (Current Employee) – Dearborn, MI – December 6, 2018
Constant financial cutbacks, always losing money, but they can buy a train station. Strange way to run a business. No direction and stock price reflects.

None

On call 24/7, but not allowed to put in for overtime.
Talks a good fight, but rooted in the past
Manufacturing Engineer (Current Employee) – Dearborn, MI – December 6, 2018
Despite the talk at the top, the company culture is still rooted in old-school manufacturing. The facilities are old and the working environment in the plants are ill-maintained.

Clumsy business processes and slow decision making.
Auto Sales have always been good and very profitable to me.

Assembly Line Worker (Former Employee) – Claycomo, MO – December 4, 2018

Very physically demanding
